Chlorine and Mercury were spending a day at the beach. Chlorine returned from a lengthy swim to find Mercury sculpting a detailed sand castle complete with moat and surrounding buildings.

"You should've built this further back from the water," Chlorine said. "The tide will just wash it away in an hour or so."

"Oh, this city is already DOOMED," Mercury said darkly.

"...huh?" said Chlorine.

Mercury suddenly curled up her arms, shrieked like a giant lizard, and stomped all over her castle.

This woman is pushing FIFTY, Chlorine thought, and she's playing Godzilla in public?... I love her SO MUCH.
